Hilachas is the Spanish word for those little loose threads that fall all over the floor and sewing area as you finish sewing and snip the tail end of the thread off the sewn area. So does this blog entail the odds and ends of topics of interest, leaving more loose threads to ponder...

Update to March Christmas Quilt-Along

Last update to what I'm doing on the Christmas Quilt-Along

Well, I just couldn’t get into the Christmas spirit today and finish my “12 Days of Christmas Mini Quilt” so I went back to my tote bag.I got the pieces cut out and will have a nice tote bag to use as a gift for Christmas.That is, IF I finish it. The good thing: I have two Christmas projects started thanks to "March Christmas 2011 Quilt-Along"

Update to what I'm doing on the Christmas Quilt-Along

I finally accomplished something. I couldn't get going. I kind of chose the fabric for the purse, then I went back to the 12 Days of Christmas mini quilt, then I blog hopped, then I ate. I did everything but count my buttons. I finally have the 12 little blocks made so I can post that I've done something. The photo came out sideways, but the blocks are done

Encouraging words of the day -

No power in the sky above or in the earth below, indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God. ~ Romans 8:39, NLT

Then we’ve had out-of-town company overnight and this morning. Our company has left so I am just now starting at 10:30 am Mountain Standard Time, so you can see I’m way behind everyone else. I’m off to pick my fabrics now.

I’ve also started cutting out fabric for making a mini quilt that I saw at "Temecula Quilt Co."called the “12 Days of Christmas” so I have all this fabric scattered about.

HI...love the tote pattern. You should have fun with that. I made the 12 days quilt and adore it...you will love putting it together. I want to make another one using Christmas fabrics so will be very interested in seeing yours!
